Kef Q15 vs. Q35
klaas hoekstra
Hi,
Last week I spend some time listening to the Kef q 15 en 35 's. I noticed a
difference in the mid and highs. The 35 's showed better integration.
The drivers look verymuch te same, is the cross-over different ?
Another explanation could be the placement of the speakers. The dealers
set-up was not perfect, the 15's were above earlevel. Buit their was still
a difference when I took a higher listening position.
Who can help ?
Greetings Klaas

The stands of the speakers also play an important role I think.

In article <5evjfe$p...@dinkel.civ.utwente.nl>,
I own a pair of Q15s; they're my computer speakers. (driven by a 60
watt/ channel Adcom GFA-535II) The drivers and x-overs in the Q15 and Q35
are the same, so you may have experienced room effects or perhaps cabinet
diffraction. For main speakers, I'd go with the Q35s, because the greater
Vbox allows much greater bass production, and I too have noticed that
they sound cleaner. (However, attempt to explain to family why you cut
two holes in your computer desk to mount loudspeakers,
and....well....you'll accept the losses from the Q15.) Even if you have
(a) sub(s), go with the Q35 because YOU noticed midrange effects, so for
you they're there. Another explination could be amp or internal wiring.
Was either loudspeaker biamped or biwired? (Note that both CAN be, even
the US$250 Q-15!) Or, the Q35s may have had 12AWG wire and the Q15s zip
cord. After you equalize the situation as much as possible, go with what
your ears say. -Citroeniste
